3. Renaissance Women

(I) During the Renaissance period, all of the
women wore a corset. (II) Moreover, a woman
was put to shame if she was found absent of a
corset. (III) Corsets resembled a cone, as they
were small at the waist and uplifting at the
bosom. (IV) They have been with us for many
centuries. (V) They were used to hide the thick
waist since at that period in time, a 15 to 18
inch waist was acceptable.
